Hyundai Heavy Industries expands use of Siemens PLM into China

HHI China Investment, a subsidiary of construction equipment manufacturer Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, says it has selected Siemens PLM Software to cut development costs, enhance product quality and reduce time to market.

HHI Electro Electric Systems Division, HHI Engine & Machinery Division and HHI Construction Equipment Division have all been using what was UGS PLM technology since 2004 in a collaborative arrangement with some 1,000 suppliers. HHI China says it will now use Siemens’ NX digital product development software and Teamcenter, collaborative product data management solution in China. “As construction business is booming in China, greater needs for R&D capabilities are required for successful business in the market,” says a statement from HHI China Investment Co. “PLM software plays an important role in strengthening R&D capability.”
